Capítulo 111: Decisions (1)

"Nice pitch!"

The shout of a boy rang out in the bull pen, barely audible over the constant sounds of ball striking leather. There were 8 youths total, 4 catchers and 4 pitchers paired up and seriously working on their craft.

The boy who shouted earlier stood up from his position and headed over to the pitcher. He had short black hair with wide shoulders and a broad chest, which looked even more exaggerated thanks to the chest protector secured tightly upon him.

"That was perfect Kouichi. If you can start pitching like this from the beginning, there will be no issues with you getting some play time at nationals."

The boy named Kouichi let out a smile of appreciation, "Thanks Daichi. But shouldn't you be catching for Yatsuo? You'll be the starting catcher soon after all."
